A daily programme of yoga, Celtic meditations, storytelling and Godly Play will refresh you. A highlight is Breathing Space’s Slow Tea Ritual – where slowed down movement, whispers, the sound of fire and water enhance the glory of the everyday encounter with cups and saucers and one another. Here's just a bit about some of these aspects of the Yurt's programme: Breathing Space – YogaBecca Brewin has worked in performance and collaborative arts projects for many years. She has recently been part of pioneering a community and centre for meditation in central London, as well as working and travelling as a pilgrim in India as part of her formation as a benedictine oblate of the World Community for Christian Meditation. Here she began her training in yoga, which she now teaches in the Scaravelli tradition, which seeks to inspire fresh movement patterns in the body by engaging with gravity and space. She is also the coordinator for an interfaith forum in South London. Prayer Space – Celtic Wheel – Tess Ward Tess is the author of The Celtic Wheel of the Year and she will be leading Celtic Daily meditations from the Wheel of the Year Prayer and silence to settle body and soul in God's holding, on the earth and at our day's beginning each day. Slow Tea Ritual Facilitated by Breathing Space Arts, this is an interactive tea ritual inspired by Zen Japanese ceremonies, fused with other cultures. It is a ritual where simple, slowed down movement, silence, whispers, the sound of fire and water enhance the glory of the everyday encounter with cups and saucers and the like as well as with one another. Hospitality is at the heart of ritual. Up to 24 participants will be invited to each tea ritual and they will be taken on a journey that includes a dewy path to wash off the dust of the day and groupwork where they will create space for one another and take time to see rather than just look, examine and admire the ordinary / extraordinary utensils before departing. Inspired by the beauty of the tea rituals of the Land of the Rising Sun, the tea ceremony is very definitely 21st Century, not because of its use of multimedia technology, but because it allows us to slow down and take care over a simple activity.
